Posted by ettaexpress on 5/10/2014 10:09:00 PM (view original):I would suggest you look at the cause rather than effect. Ever since I came back people seem very eager to run me down or attack me or reference me in some unflattering way. I'm not going to just bend over and take it. But I shouldn't be blamed when people do that.

Having a divergent view is not the same as 'being off topic' or 'derailing a thread', in my opinion.

since etta's first forum posts, there has been a remarkably high correlation between etta posts and threads that slide down quickly into personal rather than analytical and informational discussions.

I agree with maxmet.....personally, I don't see why gillispse keeps giving him chances to prove that he is not a troll. He obviously is. I try to ignore everything he posts and I agree that if EVERYONE ignored him, he would soon go away because he just craves the attention he gets by being negative about everrything.
